Camera settings

[blottsy]

I have the IPad 3 and it used to take great pictures. Now in low light, the pictures are horrible. And I'm not talking about completely dark, I mean just later in the day or very cloudy. My flatmates ipad camera takes great pics in the same lighting. Is there anyway to make any setting adjustments so the pics aren't so dark?

There's no possibility to change the camera settings on your iPad. You could look for an app to edit your pictures to enhance them.

Hi Blottsy - welcome to the forum! Now I have the iPad 2 w/ a lousy rear camera (0.7MP vs. 5MP on the iPad 3) - first, I'm assuming that you know about 'tap for autofocus'? This will also adjust for sharpness & brightness; now, if already tried & not helpful, I would suggest that you 'Reset' the iPad - directions below - if you've already given that 'hard reboot' a try, then that is about all I can offer - sorry.

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
